The Research Teams...Delayed Recognition

Because I had a hard time uploading photos and video in Muhuru, it was difficult to show you who was working on this project. My research team from Muhuru Bay and Egerton University collected all of the data for the qualitative and survey components.

For the qualitative phase, I hired 5 interviewers from Egerton and 5 interviewers from the Muhuru Community. For the survey phase, I hired 5 additional enumerators from Muhuru for a local team of 10.

The Muhuru Team traveled ALL OVER Muhuru by motorbike to conduct surveys...hours of riding, walking, coordinating with schools, and searching for homes.
